The Little Book of Sloth Philosophy (The Little Animal Philosophy Books)
Relax, unwind and soak up the wisdom of the sloth with the slowest page turner you’ll ever read.
From tidying and Hygge, to living Lagom, the endless pressure to be happier, live better, sleep soundly, and eat mindfully can be exhausting. But this year’s lifestyle trend finally delivers the perfect antidote – welcome to the year of the sloth.
Sloths are mindfulness in action. Contemplative, deliberate, relaxed, and focused. They resist the rat race, the incessant pressures from society to be more productive, and they don’t care how many steps they’ve logged on their fitness tracker. Long-limbed, a little bit shaggy, and a lot wide-eyed, they’re wonderful creatures, not to mention completely adorable.
Here you can enjoy take-it-slow wisdom inspired by sloths; including advice on sleep (more restorative than a 6am run), eating and ‘exercise’ (sloths are the original pioneers of slow food and yoga after all), work (did you know that lazy people have higher IQs?), family life, and love.
Dispelling over-complicated myths about productivity, this brilliant book confirms that it really is OK to be a sloth.

Not a book I want
First page I read said something about a stoner sloth. Not a book I can give to my daughter
Sloths Smoke Weed and Get High
Not what I expected. Several references of smoking pot, getting high, 420, etc. Of course it’s not advertised within the book’s description. Keep this in mind if it’s to be given as a gift. I work with teens and thought this might be a nice down time read for them. Looks like a cute book right?? It is not appropriate for relaxation/mindfulness/self help, especially for teens with substance abuse issues. I’m wanting to return the two I ordered. Take out the drug advocacy parts and it could be a nice light read.
SO CUTE!
I bought this book simply because it was cute and seemed like a good gift for a dear friend. I ended up buying one for myself because its so great! Its super easy to read, not long or complicated, but still teaches valuable lessons and inspires the reader to be more mindful. I thought the author did a great job writing in a fun and modern way but still delivering on an important message. I recommend it to all teenagers and adults! great gift!
How to slow down in life!
This cute little Sloth Philosophy book is not what I expected. I thought it was going to be a home book but this actually was more beneficial. It uses the sloth as a cute reminder to slow down and enjoy life. Lots of cute cartoon sloths.
What's the rush?
Wonderful book, really helped me during my depression. Real wisdom, mixed with humour and quirky facts. Easy to read, and recommended to anyone who wants a different perspective on mindfulness.
Fun gift
My grown daughter has a special place in her heart for sloths. I bought this book as a gentle joke and looked through it when it arrived. I fouled it welll written and full of common sense advice based on the sloth outlook on life.
Sweet, funny, and useful little book!
Gifted this little book to my sister. So that she could embrace her inner sloth on those days that you really want to get going but just can’t. We were both surprised to see that it not only was a sweet and funny book, but a book that contained actual awesome tips for relaxing and living stress free. Awesome book and at a great price!
Lovely
This is simply a lovely, funny and peace-giving little book. It is well worth some quiet moments of slow reading.
